[indistinct chatter]
[dance music plays]
[music fades]
[Rami] No matter how meticulous a plan is,
it's not a matter
of if something will go wrong.
It's a matter of when.
All it takes is one second of desperation.
One mistake.
- [man] Hey!
- Someone wants to talk to you.
- What?
- Someone wants to talk to you. At the bar.
[dance music continues]
[music stops]
- There.
- Yeah, there's the teeth!
- Now what about the eyes?
- Here.
Ah, there they are!
Some big eyes, huh?
- Don't you think, honey?
- The nurse said we should go in.
[Rami] Are we going to the ER?
- You'll have to watch Eddie.
- But I have work today, babe.
I can't take them both to the ER with me.
Yeah, but I can't bring a baby
into a restaurant kitchen.
[Karin sighs]
Honey?
Rami, figure it out.
[Karin sighs]
[baby murmurs]
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Wasn't that fun?
Daddy loves you, you know that?
[baby murmurs]
[cell phone rings]
[Michel] Hello?
[Rami] Hey, man, could we reschedule
the meeting with the supplier?
Listen, these aren't guys
you can reschedule with.
Look, man, I had to watch my kid.
[Michel] Look, man, we need
this stuff now. There's no more time.
[baby murmurs]
[Rami] I know what you're thinking.
Nicke is an idiot.
But believe me, Karin,
if I could have protected you
in any other way
I would have.
- [electronic voice] Next stop
- [tense music plays]
[baby fusses]
- [Rami] Hey.
- Hey.
[Rami] I'd like to buy some meat.
[man] Got cash on you?
- Yeah, yeah, I have cash.
- [baby fusses]
- [man] You sure?
- Mm-hmm.
[baby whines]
It's okay.
[keypad beeps]
[door slams]
[baby murmurs]
[tense music plays]
[in Arabic] This is shady.
[in English] What do you want?
Russian, Italian, German
Maybe a Glock?
- [baby murmurs]
- [Rami] Okay.
[baby whines]
[baby cries]
[in Arabic] Who's this junkie
bringing their child here?
[baby fusses]
[baby cries]
[Rami sniffs]
[baby cries]
[in English] I'll take an AK, two Glocks,
the Beretta, and the Uzi.
[Rami clears throat]
- [baby fusses]
- It's okay.
Here. There you go.
- [baby cries]
- [Rami] It's okay.
[baby cries]
[Rami] Don't worry, Daddy's here.
Daddy's here.
[Karin] You can play here, okay?
Hi, this is Karin, uh, Rami's partner.
Can I talk to him?
[man] Uh, what do you mean, "Rami"?
Isn't he working?
[Rami] No, Rami hasn't worked here
in a long time.
- [man] He hasn't told you?
- No.
[man] Of course not.
Why would he? Yallah. Bye.
[tense music plays]
[baby cries]
Hello?
[baby giggles]
[baby fusses]
[Rami] Hey, baby. I'm leaving Eddie here.
Just so you know,
he hasn't slept. Love you!
[door closes]
[tense music continues]
[Michel] You're saying that blasting
our way in through the roof is a no-go?
[Nicke] We'd risk bringing
the whole building down.
Not a great start, is it?
No, it's not a good start.
[tense music continues]
What about this?
Could we go in through here?
The glass pyramid on the roof.
- And then what? We swing our way down?
- [Michel] We'll find a way.
What's the word on the police helicopters?
Still looking into it.
[tense music continues]
Any leads?
I said I'm looking into it. I'm on it.
[tense music continues]
Bro, if we're calling it off,
we should do it now.
We're not calling anything off.
Come on, why are you stressing?
Listen, we'll keep going, same as always.
Okay?
[tense music continues]
[music fades]
[Alex] How are you feeling?
Fine.
Well, if you're struggling with something
you can always talk to me.
You know that, right?
If you don't have any plans
on, uh, Saturday,
one of my coworkers
is throwing a crayfish party.
- Oh.
- [Alex] Mm-hmm. Wanna come?
It's gonna be nice.
Of course.
- Yeah?
- [Michel] Yeah.
Sweet.
[water flushes]
[brooding music plays]
[music fades]
[helicopter blades whir]
[dramatic music plays]
Come on, come on, come on.
Where are you going? Where are you going?
[dramatic music continues]
[helicopter blades continue whirring]
[dramatic music continues]
Okay.
[laughs]
[music fades]
[door slams]
- [woman] Do they have a new pilot yet?
- [Leonie] We're not sure.
[Willner] The 15th is in two weeks, right?
Is he still active, though? Petrović.
Well, it appears as though he is.
He's constantly switching between phones.
Though without a team, we can't be sure.
Do we have enough right now
to charge him with conspiracy?
Uh, no.
There's questions from upstairs
about why we're pointing our resources
towards a crime that doesn't exist yet.
- So, how sure are we about this date?
- We got it when we were listening in.
And what do we know
about Västberga versus Panaxia?
We're hoping that they start making more
mistakes the closer we get to the 15th.
Okay.
We need to make progress now.
Thank you.
[Mats] Uh
- Okay, maybe we can
- [Leonie] I have an idea.
Tell them to stop surveillance
on Petrović for one hour.
- [Mats] Why?
- [Leonie] I want to try something.
[tense music plays]
[music fades]
- [waitress] Hey!
- Hey.
- [waitress] Welcome in.
- Thanks.
[Leonie chuckles] I know that face!
I almost can't believe it.
- How are you?
- [Leonie chuckles]
- It's been 15, 20 years?
- Don't say that. You'll make me feel old.
Well, you're still 12 to me,
doesn't matter how old you are.
What's going on?
I was supposed to have a date tonight.
- Where's the guy?
- He cancelled.
- What a jerk.
- Mm. Well, I don't know.
Come, sit with me. You want some food?
- Maybe a drink?
- No, no. Thanks though.
They have a great vongole here.
[Leonie chuckles] It's okay.
I think I'll have a beer.
- Just a beer?
- [Leonie] Mm-hmm.
Amina! Could you grab her
a tall IPA please?
- [Amina] Yes!
- Thanks.
This is cute. This all yours?
- I help out from time to time.
- [Leonie] Mm-hmm.
How are you? How are you doing?
Are you still living over in Fittja?
- Now I'm back in Fittja.
- [Zoran] From?
- I've been working abroad for a while.
- [Zoran] Ah, okay. What do you do?
Wastewater. [chuckles] Isn't that fun?
- Well, I mean, a job is a job.
- [Leonie] That it is, that it is.
What?
Sorry. When I look at you,
I see your brother.
You know,
I still think about him every day.
I can't even think of Fittja
without getting nauseous.
Mm.
But you weren't at his funeral.
I just couldn't. I wouldn't have been able
to even look at your mom.
I couldn't do it.
Hm.
Right.
I was still pretty young
when he passed away,
so I don't know what he was caught up in.
- [Zoran] What can I say?
- Thank you.
Your brother was a great person, but he
He trusted people.
Hm. And you don't?
Not much. You live and you learn.
Mm.
Mm-hmm.
So, are you married now?
- Kids?
- [Zoran] Me?
- Yeah.
- [Zoran] You crazy?
What do you mean? Why not?
Mm, it makes you vulnerable.
[Leonie chuckles] Hm, I see.
Like that one movie, right?
What's the line?
"You should be able to get up and leave
everything behind in 30 seconds."
Something like that.
It was Heat with De Niro.
And Pacino.
Yes, him too.
[man] Zoran, someone called "the driver"
is asking for you on the phone.
[Zoran] Tell him
I'll call him back in a bit.
Oh, weren't you were all trying
to dress like them in the movie?
Like when Milan shaved his head
to be like De Niro.
- [Leonie chuckles]
- [man] He's saying it's urgent.
It's always urgent.
- I'll just be a minute, sorry.
- Mm-hmm. All good.
[tense music plays]
Axel.
Glad you could make it. Have a seat.
You been good?
[Axel] Yeah, great.
[Axel exhales]
Did you wanna meet here
so I couldn't wear a wire?
- [both chuckle]
- You're too smart to screw me over.
You know, I do my research.
I know exactly who you are.
And I know you're a good pilot.
Daring. Unafraid.
I know some execs from your time in TV.
How you got Madonna to be quiet.
I know that you left TV
and got into wind power
for a more normal work schedule
after Vanna and the kids
left you for a while.
And I know that you're in debt.
I can help you with your problems.
[tense music continues]
[music fades]
- Hey!
- [woman 1] Hi! It's so nice to see you.
- How are you?
- [Alex] Hey there. And here's Michel.
- [woman 1] Great.
- Oh, um, Michel.
- [woman 1] Jessica.
- We brought something.
[Jessica] That is so sweet of you. Thanks!
- Come in. Hang up your coats.
- [Michel] Sure.
[upbeat music plays]
What?
Nothing.
- Cute shirt.
- Don't start.
You look great.
- So, they're all your colleagues, huh?
- Yeah.
- Hi.
- [woman 2] Hey!
- [Alex] This is Michel.
- [Michel] Hey. Nice to meet you guys.
- [man] Thomas. Welcome.
- [Michel] Hey. Michel. Nice to meet you.
[shower patters]
[keypad beeps]
[gentle music plays]
[all] Here's the first! ♪
[man] Ugh.
Sing "hup fol-de-rol la la" ♪
[laughter]
- [woman] Stephen's playing the game.
- [Jessica] He always has something to say.
I have so many stories.
Oh, one time he said,
"You look great in black.
It makes you look small."
[laughter]
[man] He gives me, like, anxiety attacks.
He'll just stand up on the balcony
and stare at you.
You know what he loves?
Looking down on everyone.
- There it is.
- [Jessica] Exactly.
Yeah, when I dumped him, he would
always time his break with my lunch.
Then he'd go up to the balcony,
and stare like a fucking creep.
Made me stop
eating lunch in the atrium real quick.
- [laughter]
- [woman] Way too creepy.
From the balcony!
[tense music plays]
[keypad beeps]
[tense music continues]
[Michel] Here, guys. Look at this.
This is a balcony.
They built some kind of a ledge here.
- Break the windows on the glass pyramid?
- [Michel] Exactly.
We break this window,
and take the ladder to the balcony.
It's on the fifth floor, all right?
Then, we take another ladder
across the atrium to the indoor window.
The one I told you about.
It's up on the sixth floor, okay?
Then we're in the storage room.
We'll break out,
and go around this corner.
Right after that, we're in The Cash.
This is the only way to get in.
We'll need some tall-ass ladders.
Yeah, and if those ladders give out,
then we're stuck in there.
[Michel] We're not just stuck.
We're all dead.
Six-floor drop. Concrete floor.
How do we know
if the blueprints are right?
- I mean
- Well, we don't. Not till we're there.
Perfect.
[Michel] Look.
[car lock beeps]
[Michel] What do you know about this guy?
Used to work in TV for a little while.
He started his own thing,
ditched TV and went into wind power.
Got the helicopter certification
on the side.
Buried in debt.
Hey, hey, hey, what the hell is this?
You're really gonna try that?
Fuck you, you fuck!
[Zoran] He'll lose everything if he
doesn't pay the people he owes money to.
House, wife, kids. All of it.
There's no way
he's gonna back out of this.
Trust me.
Completely fresh?
I don't know any robbers who can fly
a helicopter. If you find one, call me.
[tense music plays]
- [Zoran] Hey, Axel.
- [Axel] Hey.
- Been good?
- Yeah.
Axel, Michel. Michel, Axel.
- Michel works with me.
- Have a seat.
Axel, how are you, bro?
- [Axel] Fine.
- Great.
- [Axel] You?
- I'm good, thanks.
[tense music continues]
That pilot's real expensive.
Flat fee too.
If we make out with what we want,
that fee is just about 10% of our net.
Yeah, but the question is
how will we cover a huge fee like that
if we don't get out
with what we want, you know?
[Zoran chuckles]
That fool doesn't get
that he's putting a price on his life.
You're such a terrible influence.
A smoke once in a while won't kill you.
[Zoran] To wrap it up,
we know where the cops
keep their helicopters.
We know how to get inside.
We have a helicopter,
a pilot, and a date, right?
Yeah.
We're positive the ladders
won't be a problem for us?
We are.
- E-B-Z-2-8-8.
- Hm?
Write down E-B-Z-2-8-8
and run it through the vehicle registry.
Kjell-Åke Löfgren, from Falköping.
Kjell-Åke? What's Kjell-Åke
from Falköping doing up here?
Mm. Police, or what?
They usually register their cars
to randoms around the country.
- [Michel] Can I look?
- Come on. Let's go.
[tense music plays]
- [officer 1] Follow him. Don't lose him.
- [officer 2] What do you think I'm doing?
[tense music continues]
[music fades]
[officer 2] Oh no.
- Hey!
- Hey.
[Zoran] Anything I can help you with?
No, we're all good.
Well, it just looked like you were lost.
You're not from here, are you?
Nah, we're just here to visit.
- [Zoran] Visiting?
- Yep.
[Zoran] Ah. Where are you from?
The countryside.
The countryside, hm.
That's a far trip.
All right, have a good day, then.
We will.
- Welcome to Stockholm.
- [officer 2] Mm-hmm.
God damn it.
[tense music plays]
[music fades]
[Leonie] Petrović knows he's being watched
now, but he doesn't know why.
[man] Then they'll probably
call it off now, right?
Well, I can't imagine they would,
after getting this far.
[door closes]
[Leonie] Mm.
Um, okay, we'll have to change plans.
Let's put a hold on stakeouts
for the next 24 hours.
Let him have some space,
but we'll keep listening in.
Yeah. Good plan.
Uh, another thing.
You and I should sit down
and go over the depots again.
Task force wants us
to choose between the two
before they continue with support.
Mm. Okay.
That's gonna have to wait. I have to go,
but I'll be back in a couple of hours.
[children chatter]
- [knocking on door]
- [Leonie] Hello.
Hey!
Sorry I'm late.
- No worries.
- Did everyone leave already?
- Not everyone.
- [Leonie] Ah.
- [man] He's sitting over there.
- Mm.
Hey, honey. Hey.
Hi, buddy. Happy birthday!
- How's it feel to be five?
- Good.
Hey, I'm sorry I'm a little late. Hm?
There were a lot of bad guys today.
- [woman] I haven't introduced myself.
- Hi.
- I'm Anna, I live next door.
- Oh, Leonie.
I'm Kian's mama.
[Anna] Aha! So you're Kian's mom. Amazing!
- [Leonie] Mm.
- [cell phone beeps]
[tense music plays]
[Rami] Being watched?
[Michel] The cops are tailing Zoran.
We noticed yesterday.
[Rami] Fuck!
- I knew it! I knew it.
- [Michel] Chill out.
How can I chill out?
We're under fucking surveillance.
Are you kidding me?
Do they know what's going on?
No, no, we don't think so. Look, Zoran
thinks it's connected to something else.
Fuck this, man.
[tense music continues]
[Michel] Have you noticed anything?
[tense music continues]
- No.
- [Michel] No. Exactly.
Me neither.
[tense music continues]
What do we do?
We're just gonna call it?
Well, look, let's say we don't go through
with it, what are you gonna do? Honest.
- I'll be fine. You're upside down.
- Don't talk about me like that.
All I'm saying is what's actually changed?
They're fucking watching Zoran!
- [Michel] Are we being watched? Huh?
- That's what changed!
Really, think about it.
Wouldn't one of us notice something?
Just chill out, bro. Relax.
You're being paranoid.
Bro, I can't go to jail again.
I just I can't.
- I know. I understand.
- I can't do it again.
No, you don't understand.
Let's do this.
- Are we eating meatballs?
- [John] No.
- Are you gonna hug grandma?
- [John] No.
- You gotta try this wine.
- Excuse me.
Didn't know you were there, I'm sorry.
- [man 1] A job here.
- [woman 1] Make sure the oven's ready.
Hello. Say hi, honey. Hello.
[man 1] I just think
that's just how it works, right?
[man 2] Well, yeah.
[woman 2] If you cook,
I can look after the kids.
- So, how was it? Was it awesome?
- It was a great time.
It was incredible.
When they were on stage
- [Rami] Look out, coming through.
- [woman 2] Yeah, I'm really excited.
- Wanna switch seats?
- [man 1] It's okay. I'm good here.
Uh, yes. I'm gonna, um, make
a bit of an announcement at some point.
It's something I've been wanting
to tell you guys about for a little while.
[man 2] Ah, I'm proud of you, man.
- [woman 1] We talked about it a little.
- Ah, none for me.
Ah, you'll be fine with one glass.
- [Karin] I'm sure it's gonna go great.
- [woman 2] I hope so.
I know Peter's dad was really happy
when he heard.
He told him about it the other day,
and he was ecstatic.
- [woman 1] I'm sure.
- [man 2] Soccer, which has been fun.
- [woman 1] Peter, do you wanna tell them?
- [child] You have funny hair.
Should I?
All right. Well,
I've been accepted into Sorbonne.
- No way? That's great!
- [woman 3] Good job!
- Gosh, congratulations!
- [Anders] Look at you!
- [man 2] Happy for you.
- [Anders] Nice work!
- [Peter] Thanks, everybody.
- Rami, where did you go to school again?
- [woman 3] Cheers!
- Kumla?
[laughter]
Exactly. Um, four years.
Ah. Top of his class in armed robbery,
and last in hiding.
- All in good fun. You get it, right?
- [Peter] Found out I got in.
Absolutely.
- [Peter] Ah, the great hall looked nice.
- [woman 2] Living arrangements?
- [woman 1] Well, um
- [woman 2] He know where he'll be staying?
[Peter] Loves hanging out.
[woman 1] Well, Peter's dad has a friend
who has a studio in Marais.
[Anders] Didn't they teach you
how to eat in prison?
[Peter] Yeah, his friend has a studio
apartment not too far from the campus.
- It's perfect.
- [Anders] Rami?
[Peter] I was debating
whether I should look into clubs.
- [Anders] Rami?
- [chair scrapes]
Christine,
thank you for dinner.
Honey?
[baby fusses]
[baby cries]
[chair scrapes]
[engine stalls]
- [Karin] Can we please go back inside?
- You can go in.
[Karin] He's an asshole, just like always.
He just wanted to
- Fuck!
- [Karin] Stop it, Rami! Enough!
- Come on, come here. Let's go.
- Karin.
Karin, put him back in the car!
Put him in the car,
and go get Eddie right now!
You can go to Grandma. Go on.
Are you fucking serious right now?
You're on his side?
Stop feeling
so fucking sorry for yourself!
You [clears throat]
- You think I don't understand?
- What do you understand?
What do you fucking understand?
Tell me. Say it.
I called the restaurant yesterday.
If you go away again,
I'll replace you with someone else.
You know that, right?
[melancholy music plays]
- [man] Leonie?
- Yeah?
Myttinge called.
They said that the Police Academy
doesn't have a real helipad.
Uh, what's the question?
They wanna know
how long they're gonna be there.
Only tonight. Tomorrow it's over.
- Okay. I'll pass that along.
- [Leonie] Thanks.
Hey, uh, did surveillance
find Zoran again?
Yes.
- Look
- [Leonie] Yeah?
Lena won't approve the costs
until we can tell her why it's necessary
for the task force
to be at both depots tonight.
Well, tell her it'd be expensive as hell
to miss this robbery.
Especially if the press finds out
that we knew about it beforehand.
I should say it like that?
[tense music plays]
[rain patters]
[sighs]
[woman] No, this Greige Occanico one
just looks too dull.
I don't like it. It's too dark.
Like, um, one of these two
is probably gonna be my favorite.
This one would be nice with some color.
Maybe with some wallpaper.
But I wonder if we can afford it.
Think we could?
[tense music continues]
- Honey?
- [Axel] Yeah? What?
I'm talking to you.
- We said that we were gonna
- [Axel] Yes.
- Well, what do you think?
- [Axel] I think
Well, which one do you want?
[woman] I was trying to say
this one would look nice in this room.
[Axel] Yeah,
they're pretty similar, but we
We can actu
Actually, the white one's good.
[woman] The white one? We're gonna have
a white kitchen, like everyone else?
No, I wanna go with granite.
[tense music continues]
- [Karin] Will you please just talk to me?
- [Rami exhales]
[tense music continues]
[Karin] What's going on?
I already told you.
I'm leaving for a few days.
What's going on? What happened?
We're expecting
that the robbers will strike
sometime between midnight and sunrise.
[man] We'll place five snipers on the
nearby rooftops surrounding the building,
and the helicopters are currently
on standby, hidden in Bromma.
If you walk through that door,
then
Everything will be okay, I promise.
Fuck you, Rami.
If you walk out on us right now,
then fuck you.
[door closes]
And there's no way that we could be
waiting inside to catch them red-handed?
Ah, there's too much risk
of a hostage situation.
The current plan
is to follow them with police helicopters
and arrest them after they've landed.
[man 1] Hence our need for discretion.
[tense music plays]
[man 2] What do we do if the robbers
shoot at our helicopters?
We'll shoot right back at 'em.
[tense music continues]
[man 1] What the hell?
Someone else
is getting into Petrović's car.
Do you want me to follow or stay put?
[man 2 on radio] Does anyone
have eyes on Petrović?
[tense music continues]
[cell phone rings]
Hey, what's going on?
- [Mats] They've lost Petrović.
- What?
[Mats] Yeah, I I know.
Are you kidding me right now?
The day of the heist,
and the surveillance team lost him?
What the hell is going on?
[tense music continues]
[Axel] Maybe they just forgot.
[tense music continues]
Should be here any minute.
[engine rumbles]
- [Rami] A little left, go left.
- Hey.
[Rami] Slow down, slow down.
Slow down, slow down.
Good.
- [Axel] Could you take my bag?
- [Rami] Yeah, toss it. Jump in.
[Axel] Going out?
[tense music continues]
[boat engine revs]
[tense music continues]
[engine stops]
[Zoran] What do you think, guys?
Doesn't get much better than this, huh?
- Axel, loosen up.
- Mm.
You'll be rich soon.
You memorize the escape route?
I drop you at the gravel pit
in Norsborg with the cash,
and then I go to Kanaanbadet.
Where you leave the helicopter.
[Axel] Right. Then some guys
will pick me up from there.
Exactly. They're waiting for you
in a boat.
[Axel] Top notch.
I told you
that we would take care of you, right?
- [bottles clink]
- [Axel laughs]
[tense music plays]
[Michel] Boys.
Listen up. This is the last time
we'll see each other before it's time.
But this is also the last chance
to make it known if you wanna back out.
[tense music continues]
I know that some of you are stressed out
about the cops watching Zoran,
but here's what I think.
They don't know our actual plan,
they don't know who's involved,
and most importantly
they don't know when.
I need to hear it
from all of you right now
if you're going
all the way with this, or not.
There's nothing to hear. Let's do it.
[tense music continues]
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
[tense music continues]
[Michel] Rami?
All in.
[tense music continues]
[boat engine roars]
[tense music continues]
[man] The unit outside Panaxia
wants to call the operation off.
- Give it a little while.
